I haven't decided what to do with this helmet yet. As some of you
may know, my goal is to have one representation of every version
of Boba Fett's helmets in my collection, and to have each one painted
from a different "make" of helmet. The two versions I haven't done yet
are the white Supertrooper, and the ROTJ paint scheme.

Not sure what I'll do with this one. I'm thinking I'd like something like
the Asok CC for ROTJ. So I may wind up doing this one as the Supertrooper,
or I may just keep it in my collection as a piece of historical memorabilia.

Beautiful mate. Think I agree with your sentiments on super trooper or keeping as is. Think rotj may be better suied to a asok fp. Regardless of what way you go, no doubt you'll do a stellar job brother!

Supertrooper! No in-progress pics for this build, as it was pretty quick.
To begin with, I gave the helmet a good sanding. The primer that was on it when I received
it was fairly thick, and there were a couple of drips visible. A solid two or three hours over a
couple of days smoothed everything out nicely.

I re-primed with Duplicolor primer to give a good base for my topcoat, then I sprayed a couple of
fairly heavy coats of Rustoleum Professional gloss white. I had used this paint once before on my
McQuarrie concept v.2 helmet (following another member's recommendation) and it gives a
really durable, amazingly glossy finish.

The helmet as I received it had the right lower ear piece and the right upper ear cap separate, so
I gave them the same treatment as the rest of the helmet. I fixed them using small machine screws
epoxied into the ear parts.

I hand painted the small details. The turn signals were done with C & O Enchantment Blue and
Rock Island maroon. The Borden and the silver areas on the right ear were done with Bright Silver.

For the RF assembly, I got an Asok 3-piece RF kit and a solid aluminum stalk. I drilled one hole
through the top of the stalk for a small machine screw and attached it with a nut from the inside.
Easy peasy!

So another version done and added to the collection! I still need a visor for this one.
Here's my newly expanded helmet display. As seen in the picture, the helmets are:
ESB Hero (FPH).................PP2 (GMH)
PP3 (Terminal Fettler)........PP1 (Bobamaker)
Supertrooper (MSH2).........McQ v.2 (Skygunbro)
McQ v.1 (Skygunbro)

Awesome job as always, but... The original Supertrooper helmet was a dentless helmet (later transformed in the Pre-Pro #1 suit) and the dented variations were already made with the Boba Fett character in mind. Another feature of the helmet but was never attributed to the Supertrooper/Pre-Pro #1 helmet (this is already a generally known thing) are the 2 dental files in the rear keyhole:

Hi Raf!
Yeah, there are different reference pics of the concept suit, and I used these
images from the TDH reference gallery for this helmet:

I haven't added a backer behind the keyslots yet. I'll have to see about picking
up an MQ-1 circuit board casting. Once I place that in the helmet, I have some resin
copies of the dental files I can attach also.

I like to reffer to the Supertrooper helmet as the dentless one, because it was the only suit assembled and fully functional. The dented version is the first change that transformed the Supertrooper in the unique character named Boba Fett. But this is just my opinion...
